Shiitake mushroom mask to make your face delicate
Symptoms: dry skin
Old home remedies: Wash fresh shiitake mushrooms and brew them with an appropriate amount of boiling water for 1 hour, it is best to put some papaya during the period, because the active enzymes in papaya can better release lentinan. After that, apply the brewed water to the face, each time for 0.5 hours, every 3~6 days.
Pharmacology: Shiitake mushrooms also contain lentinan, which is a chemical component specially used to moisturize.
Since the 70s of the 20th century, the global problem of dry skin has been on the agenda. No one knows the exact reason. Part of the reason is the body's exposure to chemicals, pollution, and acid rain. Our expectations for our skin have shifted from rubbing powder to smoothing and covering up imperfections to moisturizing it.
Dry skin is also a widely discussed issue. Currently, there is no standard definition of dry skin. People can only realize by symptoms that the skin has dried out - flaky, tight, streaked, irritated, itchy. The direct cause is damage to the outermost layer of skin, which is made up of skin cells, lipids, and other substances that help preserve skin moisture. When the lipid balance is disrupted and the skin loses moisture, skin cells usually unknowingly shed and accumulate into white skin chips.
Experts say that many people's dry skin is caused by altered environmental conditions, and stress is another trigger. Recent studies have shown that the higher a person's level of anxiety, the lower the rate at which their skin recovers from retaining moisture and anti-allergic substances.
Our environment, including cold winds, scorching sun, and central air conditioning, can disperse skin water, but the real damage comes from people's indulgence in their daily habits. Young women often bathe two to three times a day, with washes that irritate the skin, do not rehydrate at all. In fact, the body is intolerable. Soap is lipid-colored, and if you don't apply body lotion in time after bathing, moisture evaporation will quickly take away the moisture inside the skin. Dry skin not only makes people unattractive and makes their skin itchy, but it is also vulnerable to bacteria, allergens, and chemicals as the environment deteriorates. These problems, in turn, make the skin worse, causing it to lose more moisture and become less effective at self-performing repair.
Dry skin is the uncomfortable lack of moisture in the skin. Its symptoms are mainly tight skin, dry peeling in some parts, and itching all over the body after bathing. Increasing age, climate change, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, overheating of bath water, and alkaline washing products are all important causes of dry skin. As estrogen levels in the body decrease, sebum secretion decreases, and the skin's ability to retain moisture decreases, making the skin increasingly dry. In addition, the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin contains a "natural moisturizing factor", and its number determines the water content of the skin. Overuse of skin care products is common among modern women, which reduces the skin's ability to secrete oil, resulting in dryness and dehydration.
Cleansing the skin is the first step in skin care and is the key to skin care. Cleansing can promote the metabolism of the skin, increase the absorption function of the skin, prevent skin diseases, delay skin aging and wrinkles. Cleansing the skin can be washed with water alone, as well as with facial cleansers and cleansing creams. Washing your face with water is the basis, 2~3 times a day. Face cleanser should be used more to wash the face, normal skin can be washed once a day, or once every other day, dry skin should be washed once in 2~3 days, oily skin should be washed about 1 time a day. In short, it is advisable to keep the skin fresh. The water used to wash your face is preferably boiling water to cool it to about 36 degrees; The temperature of oily skin can be slightly higher, about 38 degrees; People with dry skin can have a slightly lower temperature, about 34 degrees, or you can wash it off with warm water and rinse it with cold water to reduce pores. However, people with sensitive skin or dry skin should not wash their faces with cold water alone. When washing your face, massage your fingertips inside and out, and finally dry with a soft towel. The cleanser should be gentle and not too much, and it can be applied thinly to the entire face, and the massage time is about 5 minutes.
In everyday life. The air is dry, the temperature drops, and the skin metabolism has not fully adapted to changes in the climate and environment, so that the sweat gland secretion of the skin is reduced and appears very dry. At this time, it is necessary to appropriately increase the amount of skin care products so that the skin is fully nourished and maintained. Skin care products should choose cream cosmetics with large moisturizing function and strong moisturizing effect. Not only the skin of the face needs to be cared for, but also the skin of the limbs and torso needs to be moisturized and nourished. Care can choose body lotion, emollient lotion, after bathing every day a thin layer on the skin, can keep the skin soft and smooth, elastic, not only delay aging, but also can prevent and assist the treatment of certain skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, skin pruritus, ichthyosis, etc.
Since the skin is so delicate, we need to think of a good way to moisturize. But the reality is that any cosmetics that advertise moisturizing, whether cheap or expensive, cannot completely awaken the skin, but will produce countless side effects. Then, only plant masks can be made, in plant masks, which plants can moisturize the most, presumably few people know, in fact, the answer is very simple, that is, shiitake mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms contain lentinan, which are chemical components specifically used to moisturize. Now that you know how this works, let's take a look at how to make a mask. The specific method is: wash the fresh shiitake mushrooms and brew them with an appropriate amount of boiling water for 1 hour, it is best to put some papaya during the period, because the active enzymes in papaya can better release lentinan. After that, apply the brewed water to the face for half an hour, every 3-6 days.
In addition, I recommend a banana mask. Banana is a common and cheap fruit in the tropics, but its nutritional value is quite high, banana is rich in protein, starch, vitamins and minerals, especially it is rich in potassium, for patients with cardiovascular diseases is a very good food. For the skin, banana is also a good mask material, mashed into a puree and applied directly to the face to have a gentle cleansing and nourishing repair moisturizing effect. After cleansing the skin, leave the mask on the face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water, which can be used every day.
